A SEAMLESS HUNTING EXPERIENCE
IN THE NAMA KAROO

When you hunt at Otterskloof, your expedition is led by experienced and well trained professional hunters, (affectionately known as a PH’s) and trackers, ensuring not only an unforgettable experience but everlasting memories that will entice your return. The serene setting coupled with the day’s events will make for good conversation around the fire at sunset.

We offer both the seasoned and less experienced hunter a hunt to suit their tastes and preferences. The reserve is vast and expansive, allowing a ‘walk and stalk’ hunt if you so wish. Hunting from pre-built hides is an option which may be entertained.

The vastness of the Reserve coupled with the varied topography makes every hunt different – from high open plateaus to deep thorny ravines, the environment is not only aesthetically pleasing, but offers a different challenge on every hunt.

The following species may be added to your hunting list (depending on availability):

Roan antelope

Sable antelope

Black wildebeest (white tailed)

Blesbuck

Blue wildebeest (brindle tailed)

Bontebok

Cape eland

Gemsbok

Impala

Mountain reedbuck

Red hartebeest

Red lechwe

Steenbok

Waterbuck

White blesbuck

Zebra

Cape buffalo

Kudu

Nyala

Springbuck

Giraffe

Sadly, all good things come to an end as the epigram goes. Once the hunt is over, trained staff will prepare the trophies and hides for your convenience. In addition to that, the meat will be processed and packed in a hygiene facility, should you chose to do so.

NATURE CONSERVATION IS AN ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITY

Our free roaming herds are the result of our game management program, which approximates natural selection. Our aim is to manage the survival and improvement of our flourishing and genetically balanced herds in natural surroundings.

The hunting of game, when guided by a professional hunter, contributes to our conservation program. The absence of natural predators and the importance of a sustainable natural environment for the animals, for instance, makes selling and culling (through hunting) of animals compulsory, if conservation is to be achieved. Culling selected mature bulls makes for exceptional trophies.
